From Clinical Professionals, Educators, and Schools

Referrals: Educators and Schools

School counselors, teachers, coaches, support staff, and administrators are often the first people to see and understand the meaning of child or adolescent behavior. If you’re an educator or school professional, your ability to recognize when a kid is in trouble is essential – and we value both your unique position and valuable insight.

You might be the first person who connects the dots and realizes a child or adolescent needs treatment – or an assessment – for a mental health or behavioral disorder.

Partnering With Schools to Help Kids in Need

We’re committed to establishing productive partnerships with schools and work to raise awareness about the mental health challenges our children and teens face. This collaborative approach enables us to extend our reach and create positive change for families in the Bay Area.
